Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Address To The National Caucus

Change that will bring accountability back to Ottawa. Change that will deliver real results for ordinary working families. Change that will allow us to build a Canada that is strong, united, independent and free. That is quite a challenge, my friends. But Canadians have placed their trust in us and we will prove ourselves worthy of that trust. We will keep our promises. Of course, not everyone is happy about the change Canadians want. Take for instance our new Official Opposition. To hear the Liberals talk, you’d think they’re entitled to be in power. You’d think that the recent election in which 70% of Canadian voters called for change had never occurred. Or if it did occur, people should vote again to get it right. Well, that election did occur, Canadians voted for change; they don’t want to vote again. They want us to deliver change and that is what we will do. So what are we going to do? That’s easy – we’re going to keep the promises we made to Canadians during the election. First of all, we’re going to clean up the mess in Ottawa. Ordinary Canadians were horrified by the abuse committed in connection with the sponsorship scandal. They simply could not believe that their tax dollars – the money they worked so hard for – was diverted for partisan political ends. This will not happen again. This will not happen again. We will introduce a new Federal Accountability Act. http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/media.asp?id=1079
